I think a broadfork is very important getting no-till established to break up the compaction likely from vehicle or foot traffic the ground experienced before becoming the garden. After some time it stops being necessary. In Charles Dowding's well established beds he reports a 5% reduction in yields. Your beds are looking like they are getting pretty good.

That might work, but for me I think it wouldn't be as effective and it would be more work. My compost is very heavy and dense and I don't think it would mix very well and evenly. I have the Tilther and it only takes a minute or two to go up and down the bed once.

@@JoshSattinFarming Ah ok. I said this because I do it with wood chips compost and pelleted organic amendments or pearled fertilizer. I mix it with my gloved hands in the wheelbarrow. You could also amend your soil only with the compost and sow green fertilizer plants during the fall that would grow throughout winter. So that you could mown it the following spring and mix it with the top layer using your tilther ;) What kind of camera do you use ?

It does work well and it only takes a second, just to wilt them, really, although sometimes it's fun to flat-out fry them. Annual weeds die right away, perennial weeds take a few times. It helps to water the area first if you have mulch or leaves but I've never had a problem. Sometimes it's a little too much fun.

Thank you sir that was really helpful. Little things can be learned that you wouldn't expect. Little efficiencies. Like why in world am I walking forward when broadforking when going backwards makes more sense (.i.e just drag the fork back rather than lift it and walk forward). In my opinion this is the best video for showing the basics of bed prep. Even though I amend basically the same as you, the portion/cost breakdown was cool to see.

Great content! Just a quick safety note for folks on the broadfork if you are a very short/petite and lightweight person. If one edge of the tines happens to come down on a rock and your head is between the handles (when you're jumping on the bar), it can rock sideways quickly and give you a very painful hit on the side of the head. Like getting hit with a baseball bat. Ask me how I know? LOL

I'm not trying to split hairs here, but there is no formal definition for no-till at the moment. There is a lot of discussion about it and many opinions. The Tilther only goes down 1-2" and if you have ever used one you will see that it doesn't do much more than a good raking job will do. Also since I am putting fresh compost on top of the beds, there is even less soil being disturbed by the Tilther. The main thing is trying to cause the least amount of disturbance as possible.

Your bed looks really fantastic after you’ve prepped it so thoroughly. If you want to save work, however, trials have shown broadforking does little, and most likely, no good and your surface tilling similarly, although it certainly looks good afterwards. I agree that it’s simpler to spread a little compost each time you plant, even if no-dig says a good layer each fall/winter is the way. With good compost, your careful old plant removal and no other disturbance, you might even find the flame gun of little value. Think of how much time you can save - then we can see more great videos from you!! Thanks for being so stimulating.

I'm not trying to make a market garden but i would love to be able to grow enough to supplement our food and grocery bills and be a bit more self sufficient.

"Soil sulfur" will lower the pH a bit, and it's fairly long acting. Don't worry about the pH too much, because most vegetables can handle it. I've been growing in alkaline desert dirt (clay or sand) with no problems - a liberal application of soil sulfur and light fertilizing and you sre good to go. Start a compost pile and if you can get wood chips, add a thick layer of them as mulch.

Thank you. I'm glad you have enjoyed the videos and my approach to things. Yes, I add compost on top of my beds every time that I change over the crop. I don't turn the soil over though. Check out my wood chips video, I talk about how the wood chips help reduce the erosion and hold water. Another thing that I think is crucial in this type of growing system is to always have something growing in the beds to keep the soil biology active.

For a 50 foot bed how long does it take total to remove the old crop, amend the soil, and plant the new seed?
@JoshSattinFarming
@JoshSattinFarming 5 жыл бұрын
There are a lot of variables there. It depends on what crop I am removing and if I am direct seeding or transplanting. Baby greens take a lot longer to clear out than say squash. Direct seeding only takes minutes.

The reality is that I don't actually have a lot of extra produce that doesn't get sold. Another thing to mention is that I don't have the time to harvest, wash, pack and deliver food that I don't get paid for. It's tough and I have thought about it before.

Hey there. I have been a long time KZbin watcher and in full disclosure and honesty I would like you to realize how this works for creators. The ads provide a little bit of income for us. We spend a lot of time making this videos, responding to questions, etc. KZbin is a free platform and we all get a lot out of the content. I don't mind watching a short ad to help support the person that created the free content. Just something to think about.
